Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon white sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 cup vegetable oil for frying
• 4 tablespoons butter, melted
• 2 cups buttermilk
• 2 large egg whites
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Beat egg whites in a clean glass or metal bowl with an electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form. Set aside.

Step 2

Beat egg yolks, buttermilk, flour, melted butter, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl until well combined. Gently fold in egg whites.

Step 3

Heat an aebleskiver pan over medium heat. Add about 1 tablespoon vegetable oil to the bottom of each cup.

Step 4

Pour about 2 tablespoons batter into each prepared cup. When bubbles appear around edges, quickly flip (Danish cooks use a long knitting needle, but a fork will work). Continue turning the ball to keep it from burning until cooked through.
